Don't go here. It's a *religious* argument for some of the folks on
neo-quark and asking for two blanks in trade is regarded as some form of
usury. For the enlightened, the mere act of spreading the neo-quark
creed is reward in itself. For us unenlightened capitalist running dogs,
we must satisfy ourselves with the lowly pleasures of The Extra Blank.
